Giannis Antetokounmpo is actually a particular participant.
Received MVPs. NBA champion. All-NBA.
BUT.
I cringe when he takes a 3.
Will he make one? Positive, however his misses are ouch.
Canada up 8 on Greece in 2nd quarter. #Paris2024 – 3:42 PM

That is imagined to be Jamal Murray’s lineup but Lu Dort has been extra assertive with the ball to date. Lack of scorers minus SGA can be Canada’s greatest weak point – 3:35 PM

Canada doesn’t actually have the scale for Giannis Antetokounmpo and he’s drawn quite a lot of fouls on Canada early on this one, however Greece must get into their motion faster to reap the benefits of Antetokounmpo’s dimension.
Canada up, 16-7, with 5:25 left within the first quarter. – 3:12 PM
